Kim Grimolds. Chris Fetters. And Ruth Robbins (I actually kinda like Ruth, but she's wacky when it comes to her Duck hatred).

They are the reason that most Duck fans (at least us message board nerd Duck fans) want to destroy UW. I love UW's new system. I like a lot of your players. I have fun yuckin it up with most of the UW fans on this board, most of y'all are good people. But I don't ever want either of those three that I mentioned to have the satisfaction of UW beating UO.

Aww the Dawgman DB's! I know EXACTLY what you're talking about J. My favorite part was them feeding all the members there that Oregon was about to get the "death penalty" from the NCAA for the recruiting violations. After the slap on the wrist I was front and center in-front of my computer witnessing the meltdown, absolutely priceless.

Anyways, regarding Oregon and UW fans banter; it's always a nice debate. I understand that programs dominate in cycles and that Oregon hasn't won a national championship but their run is still very much underway and they don't show much signs of slowing down. It'll be interesting to hear what UW fans have to say once Oregon does win one, I'm guessing it will sound something like this ".. The 91' Huskies were still much better!".

I'm still looking forward to playing them in a few weeks and still think that WA isn't deep enough to stay with Oregon for four quarters. I'll have my popcorn ready after the game so I can read Husky forums calling for Sark's head.

Yeah, that would be interesting. Problem is that it's not going to happen. UW will win another national championship before Oregon ever wins one.

Go Dawgs!

Wow really? This is what going 4-0 to start the season does to Husky fans? Looking forward to coming back in here on the 19th when you guys are 4-3

Won't break my heart. College football programs ebb and flow. Alternatively, I'll look forward to coming back when Oregon fails to make the title game again this year.

Sounds about right.. Husky fans rooting against Oregon more than they root for their own team.

Nope. The Huskies are getting their feet under them. Just a matter of time. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Getting their feet under them? The Huskies are a lot closer to getting a new coach than getting their "feet under them". I understand being optimistic about your team but lets not act like if Sark doesn't win 9+ games he's not likely out as HC.

Huskys think UO is going to fall back after signing the top rated RB a year ago, this year UO is going to be signing the #2 RB in the class in Royce Freeman. The kid is the second coming of Adrian Peteson, but bigger 6'1 227. UO just need a Qb who can do enough to keep the d honest, and the I will continue to roll with studs like Tyner and Freeman.

Whoa now! Loosin those green and yellow goggles a little my man. Freeman is a man child BUT to compare to arguably the greatest ever at the position might be a little much for a HS senior. After all, much of a players potential is above the shoulder pads. Nobody knows what the guys work ethic is like. Not saying you're wrong, just saying lets wait to anoint the man.

Personally I'm excited about new RB commit Tony James out of Florida. Reminds me a lot of a recent RB for Oregon with the same last name. Excited to see how both Freeman and James progress.

You're right of course, but it's hard to not get excited about a kid who has broke every rushing record in a conference that has produced Reggie Bush, Rashaan Salaam, Ricky Williams and Marcus Allen.

Just to pile on the absurdity of this, Freeman, while a very good player, and a very good recruit, runs a 4.6 40, and comparing him to Adrian Peterson is laughable. He's not even as highly regarded as Tyner and going back further, doesn't hold a candle to what Jonathan Stewart was as a high school prospect. Again, not knocking Freeman who may turn out to be a very good player, but it's just as likely he waits 3+ years waiting to start behind Coleman and Tyner.

This reminds me of a guy who used to post on the dawgman basketball boards. Was convinced that Artem Wallace as a HS prospect was the second coming of Dirk Nowitzki.

You mean this guy?:

You'd better be careful: Kimmie has anonymous sources telling him once again that the NCAA is going to hammer Oregon. I'd suggest you go talk about it on MuttMan, but of course you have to buy a subscription first. Ironic that a bunch of hardcore, badass football fans are so thin-skinned like that...somehow reminds me of the mods on 49ersWebZone.com.

Therefore, if you're a local Duck (or Coug) fan in that area, you might want to reconsider listing a home through that Windermere office. I suspect his whole Mutt "hyper-fan" schtick is simply an attempt to get an edge in real estate...just like with joining professional organizations, being active in a local mega church and the similar. Simply wear a lilac shirt, sport a pee-colored tie and market yourself as the "agent for real Husky fans."

Makes you want to take a shower, doesn't it?

This thread is going to look really embarrassing in a few weeks. Oregon's defense is legitimate (See: Golden Bears, California) and the offense is still next to impossible to defend if you don't have SEC/Stanford defenses.

This "You guys are arrogant!" "No! You are!" Debate is going to explode next week if UW beats Stanford. I'm hoping UW wins this week, because I have tickets to UW/Oregon and would love to see a couple undefeated teams ranked in the top 10 duel on a Saturday afternoon in October.

One thing I'm interested to hear about is how Husky fans feel about blatantly copying Oregon. From chrome helmets (which I'm not knocking, think they look sharp) to holding up signs to call plays. I remember Husky fans calling our offense a "gimmick" but now they're running an uptempo, read option just like we are.

I don't blame them for doing so because it's obviously very effective (cutting edge uni's appeal to recruits and the read option wins games), I'm just curious if any Husky fans didn't like the fact that they're obviously mimicking the team they despise so much?

I'll bite, it feels dirty to me. Really dirty.

However, I do think Sark doing that in one offseason is amazing and a testament to him being a pro-level coach.

C,mon man, when you were dressing just like Jordan Knight, did I mock you?

Shirtless guy would have gone 12 rounds and felt no pain. Dude in the black jacket seemed like one of those LETS FIGHT!!! (somebody hold me back so I can look tough but don't really have to fight) types.

I don't really mind for a couple reasons:

1) Everything is a variation off of what somebody else has already done.

2) They don't give out trophies for being first.

3) You can't not do something that's gonna help you win just because another team already did something similar.

Pretty sure the placard play calling was started by Oklahoma State. Nebraska and Oregon were quick to adopt... Kelly certainly has progressed it.

Here's to the Huskies tonight. Be great to have a battle of top 10s next week

Gotta be honest, the STanford part of that equation has me pretty worried. We just don't match up well with them if they go to that power formation. Don't mean to kick you while you're down but i'd be shocked if Oregon doesn't cover the spread next week. (If DAT plays. If DAT is out again, then it might be another nail biter.)

Awesome news! Cannot wait!

I don't know about you guys, but I'm really going to enjoy seeing tens of thousands of purple-&-pee clad dorks/wimps/pussies crying their eyes out after this one. My predictions:

Many lawn mowers will fail to start in the fourth quarter.

Much chardonnay will be consumed by a grieving "hardcore" fanbase.

Many false hopes about "finally arriving" will be tucked away for another season. Again.

Please, if there is a Nike in heaven, kick the shit out of those cupcakes and keep them in their "7/8-Win" malaise. I'm all for letting them have their self-proclaimed "Preseason National Championships"...as long as Sark is there for a long, long time.
